It has been several years since tennis exhibitions have been held at Madison Square Garden, a venue that has seen players like Serena and Venus Williams, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic, among others. The Garden Cup will also be streamed live worldwide via Tennis Channel.

The Pegula vs. Navarro match is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM local time, followed by Alcaraz vs. Shelton at approximately 9:00 PM. The exhibition was confirmed in mid-September, just days after the conclusion of the US Open, where Pegula reached the final and Navarro the semifinals. Alcaraz exited in the second round, while Shelton advanced to the third round.
